For the 10th-consecutive year, W.F. West boys wrestling dominated the 2A District 4 sub-regional tournament, this time easily outdistancing the competition at Shelton High School.
The Bearcats had 13 wrestlers advance to the finals, with nine sub-regional champions, and now send 19 wrestlers in total to regionals.
“That’s the important thing,” W.F. West coach Jamie Rakevich said of 19 Bearcats advancing to regionals. “For our seniors, they get to keep wrestling another week. And it’s good experience for our young guys and hopefully they move on to state.”
W.F. West racked up 386 points to runner-up Aberdeen’s 208, while Shelton was third with 174.5, Tumwater fourth (155.5), Centralia fifth (54.5), Rochester sixth (51) and Black Hills seventh (49).
